OK, hang on. In the first test I ran with my own openal.binding, which 
looks like this:

(defbinding "openal-library"
    (nicknames "al")
  (flags "")
  (include
    "AL/al.h"
    "AL/alut.h")
  (export "alenable"
    "aldisable")
  (override ""))

You may recall I had to elim the flags to get things running.

With that binding I got the xml output and died on no mac output.

When I switched to the testsuite openal.binding I get the error "gccxml 
does not support bcc32" or something to that effect. That sounds like I 
do need the new gccxml. Yes?
